European Super League announced statement with 12 big clubs included.
Florentino Perez is to be the first chairman of the Super League, which has Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, AC Milan, Arsenal, Chelsea, Inter, Juventus, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham as founding members.
Another three clubs are also said to be ready to join ahead of the inaugural season.
A statement read: "Twelve of Europe's leading football clubs have today come together to announce they have agreed to establish a new mid-week competition, the Super League, governed by its Founding Clubs: AC Milan, Arsenal FC, Atlético de Madrid, Chelsea FC, FC Barcelona, FC Internazionale Milano, Juventus FC, Liverpool FC, Manchester City, Manchester United, Real Madrid CF and Tottenham Hotspur have all joined as Founding Clubs.
The new format has been put forward as a rival to the UEFA Champions League, but not as a replacement to domestic leagues. As well as the six Premier League clubs, three La Liga teams and three Serie A clubs have agreed to join the new Super League.
"It is anticipated that a further three clubs will join ahead of the inaugural season, which is intended to commence as soon as practicable."
The agreement comes on the eve of plans to introduce a new format for the Champions League. UEFA has put forward changes to increase the number of competing teams in Europe's top club knockout competition from 32 to 36.

Its all business in its first place for football clubs. People here are insane thinking that football is played for fans on priority. Why wouldn't a club earn huge revenues after investing millions and billions on the clubs? Are they mad? Stop being cry baby by chanti g that football is only fan game. Its money first and the fans are second. Yes we have the right to comment on these issues but we should make ourselves believe that football is business for them and they are businessmen. Its a platform where we get entertainment and they get money. Nothing extra. As for as I am concerned, if UEFA wanted to increase the number of teams in CL which will commence a welcome step for other teams to participate in the CL, there are ways for doing that. They shouldn't have created a separate league. The precondition for a team to participate in the CL whereby the first 4 teams from every domestic league qualified for this league should have been modified and the first 6 clubs of every domestic league should have been made eligible for the CL. By this way total number of teams participating in this league will be more than what it had previously.

Hold on guys. Do you all think that you better understand the clubs situation more than these 12 clubs? Hold on a second and think twice. Listen to their version of the story (which they habe explicitly stated it). The UEFA is eating the majority of their cake. It is these club's sweat, tears and blood on the line when they do entertain us yet at the end of the day UEFA end up getting the most of their hardwork. That is why they decided to say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! It is the time that we become independent and get the most of our hardwork. They are fighting against a new kind of slavery imposed by UEFA and FIFA. Once again, and just for once, listen to the other side of the story before judging. Cheers.

Most of us here are just saying what most pundits are saying about the Super league, "its disgusting, it's greed, its this, its that, bla bla bla". The question is what do you know about the Super league? Why did all of a sudden big clubs in Europe decide, ok so we're going to create our own league which will be played mid week. Yes its about the money, no 2 ways about that. Why do you also think Uefa is so pissed off about the league even though these clubs never said they aren't gonna play CL anymore. We us fans sometimes we wanna act like we know everything but we don't even know how the finances of these clubs are doing. Example how many Barca fans know that their club has a dept of about over $1 billion. I bet most of you didn't. I'm sure other teams are in debt too. Also do you know how much money Uefa makes in sponsorship for CL ? Do you know much Uefa pays the teams that play in CL? Do you know how much the keep for themselves? These clubs are are trying to find solutions to their problems. What problems? The fact Uefa is trying to expand CL which will even make it more boring, the fact that Uefa is giving out a fair share of the money they get from sponsorship. Mind you, with the super league Sponsorship comes directly to the clubs without any middleman like Uefa. Football is expensive now, play demand huge salaries. You need over 100 million to buy some players. Clubs need money. All that aside for me personally as a football fan I don't mind seeing My precious R Madrid, play against ELP top teams every mid week, extra El clasicos, or Madrid Derby, vs Juventus or inter or AC Milan are mouth watering fixtures i would watch anyday.

these idiots are just trying to destroy the beauty of this great game.but am happy both UEFA, FIFA abdbthe FA are not in support of it.any team that take part will be banned from all UEFA competitions that's Champions League and EUROPA league,For FIFA any player who takes part in the competition will not be allowed to take part in any game under the banner of FIFA including the 2022 World Cup. acording to FA,Any English team that join the competition will not be allowed to play in the Premier league again,and any time the team feels like returning back to the Premier league it must quit the competition and start back from the fifth tie(5th division)before returning to the Premier league

OMG! WHY?? It's all about money, not the supporters. I've followed MUFC for decades and enjoyed the traditional game as it is. The only issue I have had is the amount of insane money the players and the owners are getting. For gods sake how much do they really need?? The ESL is the final straw for me and hopefully a lot more supporters of other clubs. We love the game as it is. GREED is not what supporters are about. As much as it hurts to say, if this goes ahead my loyalty will come to an end with MUFC😥 I will look towards following a team more interested in their supporters then the $$££€€ involved.
